    I have been into archery for a little over 20 years now, but I've just recently got into compound bows. When I got mine, my daughter expressed an interest, so we rushed out and got her one as well.
    I bought a Bear Domain and after shooting several, my daughter settled on a Parker Lightning. Since we are both noobs to the compound world, I figured I would start this thread to kinda keep track of our progress and to have a place to get help, should any questions arise. I'll post pics and maybe vids every now and then and any suggestions that can be made based on what you guys see would be much appreciated.

    Do the neighbors ever look at you funny when you're out there practicing?

    Thats awesome! Looks like a great way to spend some quality time with your daughter. Hopefully my daughter can do the same when she gets a little older.

    I don't have to be practicing for them to look at me funny. The neighbor did come over the other day to make sure we wasn't gonna shoot her house. I told her to bug off....all my other neighbors are real nice people..she has always been an nosey old bat.
    We shoot in a target stack that is angled into the garage and wood shed...so if we happen to miss the 6'x6' target wall the wood shed would catch it.
